“The level of this festival is very high”

About forty short filmmakers have turned to Huesca to present their films and wait for the verdict of the jury. Highlights include the great film festival level, praising the food and atmosphere that prevails in the event, and surprise them, for example, the fact that jurors attend public meetings to witness their work on the big screen, somewhat common in other festivals.

Early projections have seen the Festival during the third session of international shorts, have left me impressed. The production level is very high. I am very happy that my short has been selected. I do not know if you’ll win a prize, but being here and means a lot to me. In my short narrate the story of an old man of Acapulco, which was a kind of conductor who played Latin music, to which he breaks the record player.
